SUMMARY:

The Triennial Action Plan for Undergraduate Courses (PATCG), from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN), was approved at the end of 2017 through Resolution nr. 181/2017-CONSEPE, contemplating the policy of improving the quality of Undergraduate and Graduation Courses Program established in the Institutional Development Plan (PDI) of this institution. After this approval, all undergraduate courses at the university were responsible for building the PATCG in order to develop strategies to face the weaknesses presented and guide actions to improve the indicators, which are generated and disseminated by the National Evaluation System of the Higher Education (SINAES). This research aimed, as a general objective, to analyze the current information flow in the construction of PATCG present in undergraduate courses at the Center for Social and Applied Sciences at UFRN, proposing possible improvements in this flow. It is an applied research, with a qualitative approach and classified as descriptive. The study subjects were the coordinators of the undergraduate courses at the Center for Social and Applied Sciences at UFRN, as they are responsible for producing the PATCG. Data collection was carried out through a semi-structured interview with these coordinators through a census investigation in which the successful points and barriers faced by the research subjects in the preparation of the PATCG were highlighted, with the intention of strengthening the successful proposals and suggest strategies for coping with the barriers presented with the recommendation of a model of information flow from the experiences, expectations and experiences of the subjects themselves. For data analysis, the content analysis technique was performed. The research confirmed the existence of an information flow with some disjointed and non-standardized steps, becoming obstacles of the plans production. The research results sharpened the need for improvements in the flow of information, of an institutional nature, as it is contributing to the policy of improving UFRN’s undergraduate courses; ornanizational for offering a proposal to improve the information flow present in the construction of PATCG; and human, for being willing to cooperate with those involved in the process of building the plans, with proposals for strengthening this flow, based on the Model of Choo (2003). It is hoped that the suggestions for improvement, presented here, can contribute to the implementation of actions that reverberate in a standardized information flow, collaborating, in a significant way, with the policy of continuous improvement of undergraduate courses proposed by UFRN, in addition to boosting the optimization of information management, contributing to new practices for the acquisition, organization, storage, distribution and use of information.
